Sundance took me on my first film and from there sort of launched my career.

Sundance is going to be a defining moment in my life. But the unfortunate thing about Sundance is, when you have a film there, you can't have the opportunity to see other films.

What's so great about Sundance is that they only accept such a small handful of films per year for dramatic competition, so you know when you're going to Sundance that you're going to see top-quality projects.

I'm so critical of myself. I'm actually really, really proud of the film. It's really cool to see a movie at Sundance because everybody is so supportive.

Sundance is just a great place for your work to be seen. Not much more to say about it than that.

When I went to Sundance for 'Afternoon Delight,' I came back feeling like I wanted to take my experience that I learned from directing and bring that into a series.

To win Best Director at Sundance was beyond anything I could have imagined for myself. It's still an incredible feeling to know I won. But as happy as I am about winning, I also know many other women of color have directed amazing films over the years that were equally deserving and didn't win.

It didn't get into Sundance although I showed a rough cut which is a mistake to all filmmakers out there.

Sundance is weird. The movies are weird - you actually have to think about them when you watch them.

Doing anything on a movie at Sundance is great.
